# P. V. Narasimha Rao

> He cracked open India's economy when it was weeks from default. In 1991, with foreign reserves nearly exhausted, Narasimha Rao greenlit the liberalisation that turned a closed, license-permit system into the emerging market the world knows now.

## Bio

Born in 1921, Pamulaparthi Venkata Narasimha Rao came up through independence activism and the law before entering Congress politics. He served as chief minister of Andhra Pradesh, then climbed to Defence, Home Affairs, and External Affairs in the union government. The 1991 general election handed Congress 244 seats — short of a majority — and Rao, with external support, became prime minister, the first from South India and only the second from a non-Hindi-speaking background. The economy was in crisis, foreign reserves nearly gone. He moved fast: opened India to foreign investment, deregulated domestic business, reformed capital markets and the trade regime, stabilised external loans. Every government since has built on that pivot. He left office in 1996. In 2024, two decades after his death, India awarded him the Bharat Ratna.
